My CEO 143
143 Ducks In A Row (Judy)
I've managed to smuggle an untraceable phone into Ashlyn's facility, ensuring we can stay in touch. I mean, the poor girl, she needs someone who cares. Her mother has written her off completely now.
It's only right that I should visit. There's no trouble bribing half the staff to turn a blind eye to Ashlyn using a phone in her bathroom. She contacts me when she can. Later this will come in handy. For now, I'm just pretending I care about Ashlyn. A few minutes later, my phone buzzes.
A: I'll do anything for Jayden
J: I know you truly love him.
A: I'm sorry I hurt him
1. He's okay now
A: But he's with her
J: Time will fix it all. Trust me
The irony isn't lost on me. Ashlyn's obsession with my son is both her greatest strength and her ultimate weakness. As long as she believes she's doing this for him, she'll follow my lead.
I delete each text right away, ensuring there's no trace of our communication.
I pour myself a glass of wine and sink into my favorite armchair. The plan is working. Slowly but surely, I'm regaining control. Winona will slip up, and when she does, I'll be there.
To take Abby and Jayden back where they belong. With me.
I think back to the day of the shooting. I told Ashlyn where Winona would be, knowing she had a gun. I didn't anticipate Jayden's heroic act, but in the end, it worked out. He survived, and now I have another chance to remove Winona from our lives for good. No more attempts at her life though. I've learned that lesson now. As I sit there, savoring my impending victory, my phone buzzes again.
